INTERESTING TO KNOW:

Another “small paradise” of Crete is waiting to be discovered… The Gramvousa Island with its wild beauty and the lagoon of Balos with the crystal clear waters and the white sand is a “must” place to visit while you are visiting our island. At the top of the island of Gramvousa you can find a Venetian fortress which was built during the 16th Century and with this strategic position it allowed its Venetian rulers to control the strait between Western Crete and Peloponnese.During the Greek revolution the Gramvousa fortress played also a very important role against the Ottoman rule.
